Custom Logos:Custom logos are acceptable in most cases. It is important that your logo be a size and configuration to fit the imprint area of the item to be ordered. Please submit your logo electronically when you order. Oversized rather than undersized as the quality of the logo typically improves in resolution as it is reduced. Logos may also be submitted as an e-mail attachment addressed to art@ImagebuilderAds.com Make sure that any such submissions are adequately identified.

Reduction of the photo rather than enlargement will improve quality when printed. Minor variations in color may occur when transferring your color photo or art to digital image. These variations are deemed acceptable industry wide. Exact color match is expensive and time consuming.

When the photo is on your screen, click on the word "file" in the upper left of your screen, scroll down to "save as", give the photo a name and save it on your desktop or in a folder on your hard drive. (Remember where you saved it.) Also, when the "save as" box appears, look for "save as type" at the bottom and from the list that appears select JEPG or JPG.

(Also called silk screening)

Pad Printing: A recessed surface is covered with ink. The plate is wiped clean, leaving ink in the recessed areas. A silicone pad is then pressed against the plate, pulling the ink out of the recesses, and pressing it directly onto the product.

The result is a color separation of 4 images, that when transferred to printing plates and printed on a printing press with the colored inks cyan (blue), magenta (red), yellow and black, reproduces the original color image, These four colors can be combines to create thousands of colors.

Pantone Matching System (PMS): A book of standardized color in a fan format used to identify, match and communicate colors in order to produce accurate color matches in printing. Each color has a coded number indicating instructions for mixing inks to achieve that color.

Camera-Ready: Artwork that is black and white with very clean, crisp lines that make it easy to scan & suitable for photographic reproduction.

Bleed: Printers cannot print right to the edge of a paper sheet. To create that effect, the printer must use a sheet is larger than the document size. Then the printer prints beyond the edge of the document size (usually 1/8"), the cuts the paper down to the document size.

Artwork must first be "digitized," which is the specialized process of converting two-dimensional artwork into stitches of thread. A particular format of art such as a jpeg, tif or bmp, cannot be converted into an embroidery tape. The digitizer must actually recreate the artwork using stitches. Then it programs the sewing machine to sew a specific design, in a specific color, with a specific type of stitch. This process is called digitizing.

Debossing: Depressing an image into a material's surface so that the image sits below the product surface.

Embossing: Impressing and image in relief to achieve a raised surface.

Hot Stamp: Setting a design on a relief die, which is then heated and pressed onto the printing surface.
